I'm glad you all liked the last chapter despite how I felt it turned out. And thank you for the reviews :) They really do make a writer smile. And as promised; here is the epilogue to iAm Finished!
Shortly after Sam's confrontation with Freddie, she walked into the Shay apartment, an unreadable expression was plastered to her face.
Carly, who had been sitting on the couch biting her nails since Sam had left, sprung upward upon her best friends entrance. The brunette stared expectantly at her friend as she sat down on the couch and propped her feet up.
Sam picked up the remote and turned on the TV.
Carly, now figuring she had to say something to get her friend to talk, sat down next to Sam and almost yelled "Well how'd it go!" from anticipation.
Sam clicked off the TV; she'd only turned it on as a ten second distraction anyway. Her head turned to face Carly's wide eyes. She was quiet for a moment before answering.
"Well…" she began, then rose from her seat "He…he's a really good kisser." a smirk broke through her emotionless face as she let out a joyful giggle.
It took Carly a moment to react, but then she jumped up screaming and pulled Sam into a deadly tight hug. Both girls were so happy it was indescribable. Smiles stretched as far across their faces as possible.
At that moment the door opened and a very special boy walked in.
Carly dropped her hug with Sam as her eyes lit up.
"Freddie!" she screamed as tears began forming in her eyes. She ran at him full speed and wrapped her arms around him as he smiled back and returned the gesture.
"I'm sorry Carls." he said into her ear.
"No." she shook her head "I'm sorry. Freddie, I-"
The boy pulled back from the hug and put a finger on Carly's lip to stop her from apologizing "Let's just put it behind us. Just know I'm sorry too okay?"
Carly grinned and nodded as Freddie pulled her back into their previously interrupted hug.
"I missed you Freddie." Carly whispered as she squeezed him tighter.
"I missed you too Carls."
Sam watched with a smile on her face as her two best friends, or, well, boyfriend and best friend, hugged. She was just as happy as both of them.
Just then Spencer opened the front door to come inside, and nearly rammed it into Carly and Freddie, causing them to separate and back up to where Sam was.
As soon as Spencer saw what he'd disrupted he froze with a puzzled look on his face. He looked at the three lined up across the room from Sam on the right to Freddie in the middle and Carly on the left. All three with smiles on their faces.
"Wait…" he began as the pieces began falling into place in his mind "are you guys…?" he didn't even finish his sentence for his meaning to get across.
Carly laughed and said "Yes! We're all friends again!" and then the iCarly trio embraced in a group hug. The older Shay shared in the joy and walked up to the teens, joining their hug.
LINE
A week later Carly, Sam, and Freddie were running around the iCarly studio getting ready for their first show since the falling out.
"You got the jar of fudge?" Carly asked Freddie.
He nodded and pointed toward his tech kart "Yeah it's- wait, where'd it go?"
After one second both of them turned to look at Sam, who was standing by the car, the can of fudge in once hand, a spoon in the other.
The boy walked over to the blonde "Sam, give me the fudge."
She glared at him "Why?"
"Because we need it for the skit."
"Use something else!"
"Sam." Freddie said sternly "Fudge. Now."
"No!"
Freddie shook his head and half smiled "Fine. But you forced me." he then leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers.
After a few seconds he pulled back.
"What was the point of that?" Sam asked, a grin tugging at the corners of her own mouth.
"Here's the fudge Carly." Freddie stated as he handed the jar over to Carly.
"Thank you Freddie." the brunette replied with a smirk.
"How did you do that!" Sam roared.
Carly laughed "He took it from you while you were sucking face!"
"I told you not to call it that!" Sam screamed, and went after her friend, a spoon her only weapon.
As the girls chased each other around, Freddie watched with amusement and went back to his kart to finish setting things up for the show that started in one minute.
At the thirty second mark, the boy called out to the girls how much tie they had to stop.
But at the twenty second mark they still had not stopped murderously hunting each other.
Freddie threw his hands up in frustration, readied his camera, and with 15 seconds left typed a code into his laptop. The following five seconds were filled with an extremely loud horn that caused both girls to stop dead in their tracks and cover their ears.
"What!" they both screeched together.
The boy shut off the noise and shouted "Ten seconds till show!"
Suddenly, both girls were scrambling to get ready. Smoothing their hair and freaking out.
"In five-"
"Booger check!" Sam yelled.
"Four-"
The girls checked each other to make sure they were both set.
"Three-"
"Good!" Carly confirmed.
"Two-"
"Clear!" Sam stated. And the two repositioned themselves in front of the camera.
"And we're on!"
"WE'RE BAAAAAAAAAAACK!" the best friends hollered as an effect zoomed in and out of their faces.
"Did you miss us?" Sam asked as she made an innocent face.
Carly scoffed "Of course they missed us Sam!"
They both began laughing as the lights went wild.
Then everything went creepily dark and Freddie focused really close on the girls as Carly began talking eerily "Because if they didn't miss us and still watch our show, they are unloyal fans. And what do we do to unloyal fans Sam?"
Sam mimicked Carly's tone "We go after them…with…A STICK AND A CAN OF FUDGE!"
They then whipped out their so called "weapons" and began screaming freakishly.
"Okay guys," the blonde said as she tossed a now destroyed laptop off to the side "now that you know another thing your laptop is not used for, I'm afraid we only have one more thing planned before the show is over." then Sam began fake-crying.
"No! Don't cry Sam!" Carly said.
"But I'm just so sad Carly!"
"I know what can cheer you up!" the brunette stated and then pulled out a pair of colorful socks and handed them to Sam.
Immediately the blonde perked up "Yay! Socks! I love…" she trailed off and began to fake-cry again.
"What's wrong Sam?"
"The socks say 'Monday'…but it's not Monday!"
As Sam broke out into hysterics, Carly cried "No! I can make his better!" and she pulled out another pair of socks.
Sam looked at then and halted her 'tears'.
"Better?" Carly asked.
Sam nodded, a goofy grin placed on her face.
"Well zoom in on them Freddie!" Carly ordered and the boy obeyed.
In between the many colors of the socks was the word Seddie.
"Switch cameras Freddie and join us out here!" the brunette instructed.
Within a very short amount of time, the boy was standing between the two girls, all three of them smiling.
"We have a special announcement iCarly fans." Carly beamed "Our very own Sam Puckett and Freddie Benson are a couple! So sorry Creddie fans, the Seddiers have won!"
Freddie and his girlfriend smiled and Freddie pulled Sam in close "I sure won indeed."
This made the blonde blush.
Carly, seeing an opportunity, grabbed Sam's remote from the tech kart. She hit a button and a loud "Awwwwwwww!" coursed through the room.
The blonde gave her bestie a death glare, but let it slide.
Suddenly, Carly froze in a position that reflected the emotion of an ultimate realization "Wait!" she shouted "This is missing something."
Both Freddie and Sam looked at their friend, curious expressions on their faces.
"What?" they both questioned.
"Well…" the brunette began "we have a couple…and we are broadcasting to an audience. From experience, audiences love it when couples express their…let's call it love for each other." she cocked a smile.
Sam gaped in horror "Oh no."
Carly giggled "Oh yes." she then clicked another button on Sam's remote and a loud "Kiss!" chant filled the room.
Sam glared so evilly at Carly that if looks could kill Carly would have been in a body bag right then.
Freddie leaned down and whispered in Sam's ear "Calm down babe, just pretend no one's watching."
"But-" Sam protested, but was cut off before she could even get a second word out.
"It's just you and me." Freddie then lifted her chin up with his finger, and leaned in to press his lips to the blonde's.
Though she was highly against having an internet-wide kiss with Freddie, as soon as the two's lips touched, Sam forgot the world was watching. Freddie moved his hands to her back and Sam wrapped her arms around Freddie's neck.
The "Kiss!" chant disappeared promptly and was followed by the cheering sound again.
Freddie and Sam broke apart shortly, but the kiss was long enough to satisfy the iCarly fans and Carly, and to have Sam's anger melt away.
"Alrighty iCarly fans!" Carly called as she jumped closer to the camera "That's it for this show! But come back next week! We'll be here helping George come up with some actual ghost stories. And if we can't think of anything? Well, I guess you'll see all the things the iCarly gang can do with…" she trailed off as she picked up a bucket and grabbed a handful of it's contents "PUMPKIN GUTS!" she then threw a handful at the camera, blocking out it's lens.
And Freddie, who had moved during Carly' signing off speech to his computer, called out "And we're clear!"
Just then, Sam remembered that she was very upset with Carly. Her death glare returned.
The brunette girl, seeing this, said "Oh come on Sam, don't be mad. You know the Seddie supporters were dying to see that."
Sam didn't say anything logical, she just began screaming and chasing Carly around the studio.
Freddie, knowing he could do absolutely nothing, just laughed as he watched his two favorite girls run around the room like four year olds.
Unexpectedly, Spencer then burst through the door, a salad spoon ready as a weapon in each hand "Leave them alone!" he yelled, now in a kung-fu position as he searched the room.
This caused the girls to freeze in place and stare at Spencer.
Through his laughter, Freddie choked out "What are you doing?"
Spencer dropped his kung-fu pose and pointed one of the salad tossers at Sam and Carly as he said "Well I heard frantical screeching so I though that maybe that old hobo from downstairs came up here and was trying to hurt you guys."
Carly giggled "And you were going to protect us with salad tongs?"
Spencer glowered at his sister "It was the first thing I could grab whilst making dinner."
"Whilst?" Sam questioned, cocking an eyebrow "Has Spencie been learning proper English?" she mocked.
"Well Sam," Cary started "you have to remember not even two minutes ago he said the word 'frantical'." the two then broke out in laughter, completely forgetting they were just fighting.
Spencer rolled his eyes "You know what? Fine. But when that old hobo really does break in here, don't expect me to save you!"
"Aww Spencer," the youngest Shay said as she wandered over to her brother and hugged him around the waist "I'm sorry. Thank you for protecting us from the evil hobo."
The man smiled "You're welcome."
Sam and Freddie shared a glance, and then they both shrugged as they walked over and joined the hug.
A few seconds into the embrace, Spencer looked at the blonde and said "Hey Sam?"
"Yeah?" she looked up.
"I saw the show…you and Fredster are really good at sucking face." he then winked with a smirk.
"DON'T CALL IT THAT!" the girl screeched as she stole one of Spencer's salad tongs and began beating him with it.
Spencer screamed and ran out of the room to escape the vicious hits and Sam chased after him.
Carly and Freddie stood side by side chuckling lightly as Carly said "Ah. The love of friendship."
"Haha yeah." Carly agreed "Should we go to make sure she doesn't kill him?"
"That's probably a good idea."
Just then, a loud and girly scream that sounded exactly like Carly's was heard from the main floor of the Shay apartment.
"Carly…" Freddie said with confusion "how did you scream from downstairs when you're next to me?"
Carly laughed lightly "What can I say? All us Shay's seem to have the same scream."
I know that took forever, but it's done now. I wanted to thank all the readers and reviewers of iAm Finished :) It means a lot to a writer when people enjoy their writing. Love you guys!
